How to disable gmail chat without disable gmail for a network

It is really nice to use chat and mail in the same browser window. But many times we need to disable the chat feature of gmail for their employees and many guys don't know how to perform it on a network. The following are the simple steps to disable gmail chat on a network.

1. Disable gmail chat from the complete network using DNS lookup table

If our router or firewall has the feature of DNS lookuptable controlling we can disable the gamil chat feature by assigning the gmail chat DNS to loop back address. That is assign chatenabled.mail.google.com to 127.0.0.1 and the gmail chat function will be disabled for the complete network.

Gmail chat DNS = chatenabled.mail.google.com

Loop back address = 127.0.0.1

2. Block gtalk in a Local Network with the use of third party tools

In market there are a lot of tools available to block chat features on the complete network. Here I am not going to promote any of that product but you can easily find it out by simply google it.

I'm working in a s/w industry. In my company all sorts of chatting is disabled. By using IE, i'm not able to use chat in gmail. But by using mozilla, i am able to use the chat facility. How is it possible?

It might be because of the fault of corporate Firewall they are using to block chat function. Without knowing the exact network layout we cannot explain this.
